WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Clay Higgins (R-LA) released the following statement after voting against the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill and the rule on Democrats’ reconciliation bill, which a Penn Wharton Budget Model shows will cost nearly $4 trillion.
“I have done everything in my power to stop the oppressive socialist agenda, the accelerated enactment of the Democrats’ plan to dominate America. This so-called infrastructure bill is a significant part of that agenda. The bill is 9% roads and bridges and 91% socialist garbage. It’s a losing deal for Louisiana, further seizure of power by the thieves in suits of DC, and an advancement of a plan so diabolical I am unable even to write of it here, today. No real Republican should support either of these insidious bills.”
Congressman Higgins also released a video slamming both the so-called infrastructure bill and Democrats’ reconciliation bill.
